This bronze statue by Emmanuel
Villanis is handmade and cast in
the traditional Lost Wax Casting
Process. This insures a quality
bronze sculpture that may be
passed down from generation to
generation. Villanis was an
Italian born sculptor in the
1800ís. Almost all of Villanisí
sculptures are exclusively
female subjects. Villanis had a
few techniques that he applied
to his bronzes that really made
his work identifiable. He would
artistically scroll the womanís
name below her face. He also
made his womenís faces perfect,
using a deep cut for the eyes
which were a contrast to the
style of trying to sculpt the
natural eyeball of that time.
